Patented April '7, 1908.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that l, J AMES N. C. GRAHAM, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of borough of Brooklyn, Greater New York, N. Y., have invented certain improvements in Card-Mounts, of which the following is a specification. My invention relates to cards or card mounts for passe-partout structures, and the object of my invention is to provide a card mount designed and adapted to receive a picture or printed matter, with a removable calendar, picture, or other object to be shown through a transparent body covering the face of the structure; the card being so when the passe-partout is made the removable calendar or picture carried thereby will be covered by and viewed through the transp arent material, but at the same time will be readily accessible for the urpose of removal or rearrangement.

My invention is fully shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1, is a perspective iront view of my improved card mount made into a passeartout; Fig. 2, is a perspective rear view of the same; Fig. 3, is an enlarged vertical section, and Fig. 4, is a similar section of a portion of the structure, showing the manner in which the calendar pages are removed or pictures inserted.

1 represents a card having a mount of the ordinary type for a picture 2, and an opening 3 which may be disposed in any suitab e part of the card. The card 1 is backed with a card 4 somewhat heavier, which is also provided with an opening 5 which should register with the opening 3 oi the card 1. Hinge to the card 4 is a flap 6, which in this instance carries a calendar pad 7; the hinge employed beingpreferably a piece of muslin 8 which may e entered between the two cards, in the manner shown in Figs. 3 and 4,

i and glued in place.

The o emng 3 in the smaller t an the opening clearly indicated in Fig. 3, so that only the central portion of such calendar sheets w' be eX osed to view through the opening 3, the e ges of such sheets being hidden by the marginal portion of said o ening. flap 6 carrying said pad is held m'place by means oi a suitable catch 9 carried by the card 4,

card 1 is slightly 5 in the card 4, as

which may when it is desired to raise said one of the calendar sheets therefrom. By this means when the card mount Vis combinedwith a plate of glass or other transparpasse-partout, in the manner indicated in the drawing, the calendar is readily accessible for the removal of the expired sheets, or Jfor the insertion of a new pad, without in any way injuring or marring the passe-partout.
